Pacing‐Induced Cardiomyopathy in a Patient With a Leadless Pacemaker Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Abstract

ABSTRACT Conduction disturbances following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) sometimes require permanent pacemaker implantation. However, little is known about the pacing‐induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) in leadless pacemaker (LP) after TAVR. Here we present a case of heart failure due to PICM 6 months after TAVR which was successfully treated with LOT‐CRT upgrade.
